That's the problem: there's no single root cause to cancer. Every cancer type has an additional dozen subtypes with different causes. It's a mess.

I don't see how that relates to my statement. In the trustless and decentralized system of Bitcoin (and other blockchain implementations), there is no concept of theft. If you misplace your private key you're on your own. There&#x

I think from his explanation in the article it's quite straightforward to implement it yourself: get a GPT-3 subscription at OpenAI or MS Azure, use the API as described in the article, voilà. But the idea is genius indeed.

I'd wager that you shouldn't put any money you can't afford to lose into crypto, so your other examples are not really comparable.

The thing is: you can list all of the arguments against NFTs you want (and I'm not even disagreeing), we know that rationality has no say in determining the market value. There are currently too many examples, starting from the TESLA s

So the ticker-tapes (which I only know from old time movies) really reported on every single transaction that occurred within the stock exchange? I assume that's quite a lot of data that was processed, even 70 years ago?

They usually last around 10 years with some options to extend for another 5-10 years. By the way, that's one of the reasons drugs are so expensive: pharma co. needs to recoup the costs before the patents expire.

I mean, as the article mentions, you could store the image on the chain. Or at least a Hash of the image to prevent a bait-and-switch. But it would cost too much of added gas fees and the average user wouldn't understand the difference
